Samsung Research Uses IBM Multicore Processor for Vision Apps

CNET: Samsung has adapted IBM's TrueNorth 4,096-core processor into its Dynamic Vision Sensor that processes video imagery quite differently than traditional digital cameras. "Each pixel operates independently and pipes up only if it needs to report a change in what it's seeing," said Eric Ryu, a VP of research at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology. The camera is able to track objects at 2,000fps speed while consuming 300mW power.
